I have a Basset who pulls like a freight train. No way would I trust him with that handle. We use dollar store glow stick bracelets around their collars.

You can also buy electric fireplaces that look quite realistic, and come with a faux hearth. Take a look at Home Depot, etc.

What if you turned the bookshelf/desk so it was perpendicular to the window? Then you could put a sofa or something up against the bookcase part and use it as a room divider of sorts. Without a better idea of the size of the room and where the doorways are, I'm having trouble with brilliant ideas though....

You can reface the cabinets and just replace the doors with something more current. It's a fraction the cost of replacing the entire cabinet. Check IKEA as well: I just installed an IKEA kitchen and am very, very happy with it. Their wood countertops are gorgeous!

If your wood is in good shape, for heaven's sake don't paint it! I like the idea of the wallpaper riser, although I'm not crazy about any of the choices depicted. What about painting the riser a dramatic color and leaving the tread in natural wood?

Postwar. Anyone who's ever lived in one (and most people have) will know what you're talking about. Usually around the 1000 sq foot range (without additions) two bedrooms, one bathroom.
